Magicscreen Screen Protector: Crystal Clear edition

MediaDevil's Magicscreen Screen Protector: Crystal Clear edition protects your screen from scratches and leaves no markings when removed. It does not reduce the clarity or touch sensitivity of the device screen, and does not affect the light/proximity sensors under the screen.

An essential accessory that is also available in Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) and Privacy editions.

Our Magicpotion screen cleaning solution can be used to clean your device screen before applying your screen protector:
When Magicscreen is applied to this device, the device is still completely compatible with our Magicwand touch screen stylus.

Your satisfaction is really important to us, and we will do our best to help ensure that you are a happy MediaDevil customer.
MediaDevil was awarded the UK Department of Trade & Investment (UKTI)'s 2011 Business Innovation Award for "demonstrating the virtues of excellent products and a passionate company".

What is the difference between your Magicscreen and Easyscreen screen protectors?

Magicscreen
Magicscreen uses the ‘static-cling’ screen protector format that most of the world’s leading screen protector brands use. It is the most commonly used format of screen protector by a very large margin.

Our protectors do not use adhesive to stick to the screen, they use an electrostatically charged silicon layer that sucks/secures the protector to the device screen using an ‘electrostatic-cling’ produced vacuum.
This is how our protectors can be easily removed without residue/markings being left on the device screen.

Easyscreen
Easyscreen is our ‘next generation’ screen protector for large screen devices, and the result of many months of research.
Unlike ‘regular’ format screen protectors like Magicscreen, Easyscreen does not stick to the viewable area of the screen. This means that that air or dust bubbles will never occur on the viewable screen area during the application of Easyscreen.
Adhesive is only used around the Easyscreen border, which is coloured to ensure that any air trapped under it is not visible.
This colouring of the border has allowed us to offer a range of ten different colours.

Due to the way that it works, Easyscreen can only be produced for certain devices, primarily large screen devices.
Due to the Laws of Physics, Easyscreen can also only be produced in our Matte Clear edition. It is not possible to create a Crystal Clear edition Easyscreen.

What is the difference between your Crystal Clear and Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) screen protector editions?

The main difference is the surface texture:

- Our Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition has a frosted matte surface which reduces screen glare.
It also feels really nice to touch (although it may take you a few hours to get used to), nicer than the regular screen texture in our opinion.

Our Matte Clear edition is very popular in particular for tablet devices, as it greatly aids reading the screen outside in sunny conditions.

Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.

You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly ‘crystal clear’ screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.

- Our Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition uses a glossy surface texture.
It is invisible on your phone when applied, and feels like your device’s natural screen. It does not affect the device’s screen glare or clarity in any way.

Glossy screen protectors do inevitably attract fingerprints, like a regular device screen does.
Some of the latest electronic device screens have a very expensive ‘oleophobic’ (anti-fingerprint) surface layer, and therefore you may notice extra fingerprinting if using a glossy screen protector on them.
For example: The iPhones 3GS/4/4S have an anti-fingerprint screen surface, whereas the iPhone 3G and the iPad 1/iPad 2 do not have it. Our Crystal Clear edition protector therefore provides the same fingerprint resistance as the latter devices.

Does your Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition affect the clarity of the device screen?

Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.

You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly ‘crystal clear’ screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.

Will your screen protectors affect either the sensitivity of my device’s touch screen, or the light/proximity sensor under the screen?

Our screen protectors do not affect the sensitivity of touch screens or light/proximity sensors in any way. In fact, you are even able to use our Magicwand capacitive touch screen stylus when one of our screen protectors is applied.

Do your screen protectors cover the front facing camera or the light/proximity sensor in the device screen?

Our protectors have a purpose cut hole for front facing cameras (to prevent any light ‘flaring’ from appearing in photos).
In the vast majority of cases, our protectors do cover the light/proximity sensor, as (unlike products from competing brands) they do not affect the sensitivity of the sensor.

There are two different types of screen protector: ‘hard’ unscratchable protectors, and ‘soft’ scratch-resistant protectors. They are rather different to each other, and both have their own advantages and limitations compared to the other.

Our protectors are the ‘soft’ static-cling scratch-resistant type (i.e. they protect your device ‘from’ scratches, rather than being totally resistant to scratches themselves).
This format is the most popular type of screen protector by a very large margin, and most of the world’s leading screen protector brands also use it.

Our protectors are more (or equally) resistant to scratches than all directly competing scratch-resistant screen protector products, and provide a high level of protection for your screen (even if they pick up scratches themselves).
To prevent the screen protectors themselves from getting scratched, treat your device well by keeping it away from keys and other sharp objects. Keys do huge damage to device screens, and can easily result in hairline scratching of the protectors if you keep them in the same pocket.

It would be possible for us to make our protectors more resistant to scratches, however this would remove the friction of the surface texture, and as a result they would not feel smooth to touch.
One major issue with the protectors that claim to be unscratchable, is that they do feel very rubbery, and affect the user's enjoyment of their device. That is not something we wish our customers to experience, and therefore we do not range unscratchable protectors. Our protectors provide benefits in other areas.

Please see this link to our troubleshooting guide for a detailed comparison of our protector format versus 'unscratchable' protectors like Zagg’s InvisibleShield (the best known ‘unscratchable’ screen protector).
You may want to read Amazon reviews of the InvisibleShield to see if it is perhaps a product better suited to your requirements.

Please note that Zagg do not sell a Matte 'unscratchable' screen protector, because it is not achievable as Matte material is a bit softer than glossy material, and scratches are also more obvious due to the frosted texture.

Customer Reviews

Media Devil screen protector for iphone. Fits exactly as described in excellent instructions. Lasts well. Does not interfere with normal operation of phone. May be a little more expensive than some other similar products, but well worth the money. (Posted on 21/07/2014)

Great product and service from Media Devil.Review by Kevan

Overall

The crystal clear screen protector is a great product. Once fitted correctly you'd never know it was there, fantastic quality product. It is produced to very fine tolerances which makes it truly invisible...however it does make it tricky to fit properly so patience is required, good job you get two per pack. Service from Media Devil was fab as always. (Posted on 11/03/2013)

Excellent Product And A Great Service!.Review by Kingsley Hart

Overall

I have bought other cheaper screen protectors in the past for my iPhone. Some have worked well, stayed on, didn't bubble when applied, although they seemed to limit the responsiveness of the touch screen. While others were just rubbish and I was unable to apply them with huge bubbles. I bought a pack of these when I needed some more screen protectors and can defiantly say they are the best I've ever used so far. They really are the full works, well as much as you get with screen protectors. They feel great, looks great, and do there job. Plus as always when dealing with a new company I'm skeptical... But I can say, Phone Devil's, Media Devil are fantastic... I haven't needed to contact them and talk to them so I can't comment on that but there delivery and product description is honest, accurate and they come well packaged. I selected 1st class and they sure enough arrived next day! I really do recommend these screen protectors. And I also really recommend you invest in something quality rather than cheap rubbish made with the worst materials. I for one, sure know I'd prefer to pay £10 for 2 quality screen protectors rather than waste £3 for 8 rubbish ones. Next time I need some screen protectors, I'll looks to Phone Devil and Media Devil ! :) (Posted on 15/02/2013)

Great product and excellent service.Review by David

Overall

Experimented with a number of various screen covers for my iphone 3GS and thy were not up to the job as bubbles began to form. In addition, dust and fibres collected around the edges of the screen and the button and earphone apertures - it became unsightly after a while. I was apprehensive about Phonedevil's screen, but decided to give it a try after seeing the reviews. I am pleased to report that once applied (relatively easily - as long as exposed edge is protected as you apply cover onto screen) it 'fuses' into the original screen and provided a transparent finish visually whilst retaining the feel of the original screen! Impressive protection at a very good price
i highly recomend this to frends
i wont have any uther now i found this one (Posted on 09/10/2012)

10/10 Product & Service.Review by Kelly Smith

Overall

I was immensely pleased with this product when it arrived.

I was nervous about attaching it to my phone but I needn't have been because the instructions that were enclosed together with the VERY helpful video on this site, helped me get the result I wanted -- and without any pain!

Can't thank MediaDevil enough. This is a first class product. I was also impressed with the very speedy delivery service, not to mention the two cute little sweets that were tucked inside my package. Nice touch!

Overall, an extremely pleasurable buying experience. I'll be back when I need more! :) (Posted on 18/12/2011)

The Best iPhone Protector made.Review by Sciolist

Overall

Easy application.
Extremely scratch resistant.

I've had a matte Magic Screen protector on my iPod Touch for about a year and it has proven very scratch resistant.
More recently, I put a Crystal Clear protector on my iPhone 3GS and so far it is scratch free.

The surface is much smoother to the touch than the other protectors I've tried.
